It seems as if poets have taken over many of the writing communities and with good reason. Some of the writing today is simply outstanding. I created a post in the past about 12 Poetry Books You Didn’t Know You Should Read and I wanted to create a new one. So many good books have come out in the last six months. Below you will find 10 of my favorite recent poetry book releases, in no particular order. I hope you’ll check them out and add them to your collection.

The Lithium Chronicles: Volume One – Nicole Lyons
Bestselling Canadian poet Nicole Lyons weaves together beloved pieces from her previous volumes Hush, I Am a World of Uncertainties Disguised as a Girl, and Blossom and Bone with new writing into powerful documentation of her journey as a writer. Her poetry and prose are wholly relatable, taking us deep inside the heart, and the human condition. Unafraid to bare her soul, she shares her struggles skillfully crafted with every line, giving the reader permission to take a glimpse into their own. Her readers are sensitive and smart, and Lyons understands this.
The Lithium Chronicles is her most ambitious and brazen work to date, and she delivers above and beyond. It is art, a collection of writing that makes you feel deeply and also makes you feel understood on a level that is not always there in society or our day-to-day lives.
